I will be ticked if.....

[sportsfanatic21]

I agree as well (and I haven't looked at the tenures at Boise or Colorado) but I don't thinnk it can happen with a series of one-n-done great coaches.

Yeah, you would hope that the next guy would be here for a bit longer. To your point about tenures, Koetter (I believe) was already there when Boise moved up to D1 and I think Hawkins stayed 5 seasons. So your point is definitely valid in that regard. What I'm saying is, Hud has made this attractive job to whoever is next, whether that is now or 5 years from now, and if/when he does leave, we will have more to offer in what will be the most important hire we will make.

Waldo, I understand your frustration. Are you still in school or in the working full time? If I am very successful at the company I am at, and another company offers over a million dollar raise to take my recourses to the other company, I would do it. Now, I wouldn't jump to another company for a "little" more money in a worse situation. Free market... love it or hate it, it brings out the best "product" in people. Now, regardless of what I just said, I will be ____ed if he leaves!!

-----------------You know it is so great to see all you crazies that were in school grow up to be such sound minded guys---Better watch it with a philosophy like that we might draft your ___ into the political arena!!!!

While I love everything that coach HUD has done for the team, if he leaves, it just mean that it's up to us as a community to pick up where he left off. He's done a great job of getting the community behind the team, but if he leaves, that only means that WE have to keep holding on to that rope. Losing him would be upsetting, but as long as we, as a community, keep fighting on, we can take the next step to really become something great.

I said I was against deleting threads, but man I wish I could retract that statement. You people are hanging him without a trial. Where's your evidence that he is even thinking of leaving. You people are about as emotional as women.
Next rumor you hear will be that a woman will accuse Hud of a 13 year affair. Man you people need to quitcher_____in and focus on the damn bowl game. Go take your frustration out at the gym. Exchange phone numbers on here and all the negative nacy's can have a conference call. Who EVER said "In Hud I trust" needs to reevaluate themselves. Obviously you have trust issues.
Don't get me wrong I TOO will jump on this band wagon of being ____ed off, but ONLY if it happens. The AD and everyone else will take care of us. Don't think for a second we will be bad off!
If I were HUD would ban the players from tv, newspapers, internet and so-called friends that even bring this up. I will blame EACH and EVERY one of you personally if we lose that game because the players aren't focused and keep hearing about your RUMORS and SPECULATIONS.
Till we get real evidence, people, just chill the f out and I will see you all in New Orleans!

Some facts that justifies the current attitude of UL fans: Hud confirmed that he interviewed with Ol Miss. He withdrew not because he wasn't interested but because he felt the Ol Miss search committee had problems with his Miss State ties. And he has not come out and categorically state he is staying here and refusing any other interview requests.

Exactly.

Does UL have a committee or something that keeps a list updated of possible replacement coaches? If Hud does leave, I hope there is a plan in place that the administration will act quickly on. In order to prevent another mid major school from stealing the head coach at UL, his salary NEEDS to be in the $750K range. I know there is no way UL can give a coach the multi million dollar contract it would take to prevent AQ conferences from being able to "buy" a successful coach like Hud, but the pay at UL should be high enough that the pay at a CUSA or MWC school would not be enough to lure the coach away.

I can't believe any of you would fault a man for doubling his salary... or more even. That is just idiotic to even try and justify it however you want to look at it.

[CrazyCajun]

Double? Ole miss or MSU would pay more in year one than he could make in 5 years over here.
